Description

There are several national organisations that provide scholarships or bursaries to help with training expenses for young people. Locally the Ian Beckett Fund supports junior members with specific aims.

Alongside the Club fleet, there are two Ka6cr gliders that are funded by Club members for Junior members to fly at reduced rates.

Some of our young pilots have progressed to become commercial airline pilots or gliding instructors, & are active in promoting the club to young people. They have been supported by the Caroline Trust, Royal Aeronautical Society Centennial Scholarship Fund, GAPAN, Philip Wills Memorial Fund Scholarshop & Royal Aero Club Trust.

The Club has been awarded accreditation by the British Gliding Association as a Junior Gliding Centre. Find out more about BGA Junior gliding.
